La Deau Custom Hinges

The Design Engineer experiences a recurring dilemma... whether to create the best possible solution to a design problem, or fearing prohibitive costs, attempt to "make do" within limits of standard component designs.

The factors that affect this decision include (1) knowledge of a resource capable of manufacturing to creative design requirements; (2) cost levels that will support the project budget; and (3) confidence in the resource's ability to fabricate within close tolerance specifications.

LA DEAU MANUFACTURING COMPANY is consistently successful at meeting all of these criteria! During over a half century of experience, we have accumulated a vast array of company-owned tools and dies. These enable us to produce hinges of a variety and complexity unsurpassed in the industry.

So, "Design Away,!" and leave the rest to your hinge specialist ... LA DEAU MANUFACTURING

Multiple-Pin Hinges permit a hinged component to be moved in two planes simultaneously. With loops on both edges of the leaf, hinges of unlimited width can be created.

Contoured-Hinges can be formed into an infinite variety of required shapes. This capability is helpful to the designer with clearance problems, and when profile requirements do not lend themselves to flat-hinge designs.

Take-Apart Hinges add a measure of flexibility to finished-product designs. While pins are securely locked into one leaf, the mating leaf has loop tolerance that permit a slip-fit.
